Considered too lightly armored by many, the agile Cromwell was the fastest British tank of
WWII. In 1943 the A27M model with the Meteor engine entered service and became part of the
22nd Armoured Brigade arsenal. In 1944–45 the Cromwell became the most numerous British
tank and in many units replaced the Sherman. There were 341 Cromwell Mk. VI’s produced
and these were armed with a 95mm Howitzer and used for close support. These tanks along
with others saw heavy action in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
